Another Life
By: Peter Anghelides
Thick black clouds are blotting out the skies over Cardiff. As twenty-four inches of rain fall in twenty-four hours, the city centre's drainage system collapses. The capital's homeless are being murdered, their mutilated bodies left lying in the soaked streets around the Blaidd Drwg nuclear facility. Tracked down by Torchwood, the killer calmly drops eight storeys to his death. But the killings don't stop. Their investigations lead Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Toshiko Sato to a monster in a bathroom, a mystery at an army base and a hunt for stolen nuclear fuel rods. Meanwhile, Owen Harper goes missing from the Hub, when a game in Second Reality leads him to an old girlfriend…
Something is coming, forcing its way through the Rift, straight into Cardiff Bay.

I heard about them, I really want to read them. I know this is a quote from one of them... Quote: "-although she was gratified to learn when they were at uni that he wasn't a great fan of Abba, since men at uni who were Abba fans tended not to be interested in Gwen. Or women generally. "Do you like Abba? she found herself asking Ianto. As non sequiturs went, it was a good one. He looked at her. "Is this going to lead to a 'Jack' conversation?" "No." "Fine. Then I admire the Andersson/Ulvaeus writing partnership as craftsmen and songsmiths. I believe 'One of Us' may be the best song written about relationship break-ups ever, and I have a soft spot for the fusion of witty lyrical content and poptastic danceablilty of 'Voulez-Vous', but let me make this absolutely clear: I bloody loathe 'Dancing Queen'. All right?" Gwen stopped walking and just looked at him. "What?" he asked. "You've had this conversation before, haven't you?" "Might have." "Jack?" "You honestly think Jack knows anything about music after 1948?" "Who then?" "Doesn't matter." "Who?" She started walking again. "Come on, I might die tonight, never knowing." "Me mam." "Aww. When she found out about Jack?" "When I was fourteen." Gwen stopped again. "I dunno which scares me more-that your mam worked you out ten years before you did, or that the fourteen-year-old Ianto Jones used the phrase 'poptastic danceability' without getting beaten up." Ianto stopped suddenly. "She didn't work me out, Gwen. No one has. And if I ever do, Ill let you know." Gwen smiled, nudged his arm. "O come on, smile. Lisa, Jack... being bisexual is hardly a crime. Best of both worlds, isn't it?" Ianto pushed her away. "No Gwen. No, really it's bloody not. It's the worst of any world because you don't really belong anywhere, because you are never sure of yourself or those around you. You can't trust in anyone, their motives or their intentions. ANd because of that you have, in a world that likes its nice shiny labels, no true identity. For Torchwoods, 'Little Miss Sensitive', you don't have talk crap sometimes. So do me a favour and shut up about it, all right?"

I think there are also some graphic novels or comic books of both Torchwood and Doctor Who. I will look into that. I would love to draw for one of them.

another book for your interest
Border Princes
By: Dan Abnett
The End of the World began on a Thursday night in October, just after eight in the evening… The Amok is driving people out of their minds, turning them into zombies and causing riots in the streets. A solitary diner leaves a Cardiff restaurant, his mission to protect the Principal leading him to a secret base beneath a water tower. Everyone has a headache; there's something in Davey Morgan's shed; and the church of St Mary-in-the-Dust, demolished in 1840, has reappeared – though it's not due until 2011. Torchwood seem to be out of their depth. What will all this mean for the romance between Torchwood's newest members?
Captain Jack Harkness has something more to worry about: an alarm, and early warning, given to mankind and held – inert – by Torchwood for 108 years. And now it's flashing. Something is coming. Or something is already here.

I loved "Almost Perfect". It was funny reading about Ianto trying to go about his duties as a woman.
